PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Benibuz-Forte Tablet can be taken with or without food. The dosage will be determined by your condition and how you respond to the medication. It’s recommended to take it consistently at the same time each day. It’s crucial to continue taking this medication until instructed otherwise by your doctor. Since it contains a diuretic (water pill) which increases urination, it’s advisable to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Consistent use of this medication is important to maximize its benefits, even if you feel well. High blood pressure typically lacks symptoms, and discontinuing the medication may elevate your risk of heart attack or stroke. BENISTO 4 TABLET contains Benidipine, classified as a Calcium channel blocker. It’s prescribed for hypertension management. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, involves elevated blood force against artery walls, potentially leading to severe organ damage such as heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, stroke, or even blindness. Additionally, BENISTO 4 TABLET is indicated for managing renal parenchymal hypertension (high blood pressure in the kidneys due to kidney issues) and angina pectoris. Angina pectoris manifests as sudden, intense chest pain stemming from the heart’s apex, extending to the left shoulder. Symptoms include severe, crushing pain accompanied by pressure and a sense of suffocation, particularly behind the breastbone.
The typical adverse effects of this medication encompass nausea, altered taste sensation, stomach upset, diarrhea, headache, lowered blood pressure, weakness, numbness in extremities, and skin flushing. Should any of these symptoms trouble you, worsen, or persist, consult your doctor. In case of ankle or foot swelling, elevate your legs while seated to alleviate it. To counteract muscle weakness, dry mouth, and excessive thirst, ensure adequate fluid intake while on the medication. Exercise caution to prevent dizziness resulting from low blood pressure; rise gradually from a seated position and consider refraining from driving if necessary. Prior to initiating BENISTO 4 TABLET, notify your doctor of any liver or heart conditions, particularly severe low blood pressure or cardiac shock. Refrain from consuming grapefruit juice while using BENISTO 4 TABLET, as it may exacerbate blood pressure reduction. If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting BENISTO 4 TABLET therapy. Common side effects may include rapid heartbeat, headache, and dizziness. Should any of these side effects worsen, seek medical advice promptly.
